Raipur, Jan 29 (ANI): To fight the rising insurgency activities of Maoists in India''s central hinterland, police in Chhattisgarh are being trained in guerrilla warfare.

The ill-equipped and ill-trained policemen have proved to be unsuccessful in saving vast parts of the region. Ironically these may include some of the richest areas, home to huge deposits of iron or aluminum ore.

Apparently, the Government lacks a coherent strategy to combat the menace created by Maoist activists.

Raipur, Jan. 28 : Chattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh said on Tuesday that the problem of naxalism can be countered with talks and dialogues as war is not a solution
to it.

"We do not want that there should be a war. We want that the matter should be sorted out with talks and I would welcome the option of talks with the Maoists," said the CM
Raman Singh here.

He further noted that all the States, grappling with the terror of the Maoists, needed to enhance inter-state co-operation.
